Hi,

try running DPKG per the update guide and see if that helps. (A network cable connection is required):

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2247

You can also try running the following terminal (Ctrl + Alt + t) command and then restart:

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -f

Also, boot the Zorin disk and see if the WiFi works, if it does, when you install; it should load the drivers for you but make sure you are connected to the internet using a network cable or it won't download the additional drivers automatically!.

Do you still have the Windows drivers disk?, if you do, you can use Windows Wireless Tool which is pre-installed in Zorin OS:

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7359

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wchimaoe9KE

You can also try using the Additional drivers tool:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VVosf9p5GM

Let us know if it helps.

The hp a1340n is a desktop. I don't have wireless for it. It show it connected. But i can not ping to router.

Hi,

sorry when you said card, I thought you meant a USB dongle!.

Check your internet cable and change the position in the router, it seems to just be a faulty connection with the cable or router as your ethernet card is showing as working!. "autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes"

Borrow a cable from a friend or neighbour if necessary!.

I tested cable and router all is good to go but still not connecting

Hi,

what make of router is it? and did you try resetting the router?. (Only do a reset when you know 100% that you can access the router from your web browser!).

Netgear N150 I did try resetting router still not connecting.

i still think it the computer the lights on build in net work card do not flash.

Hi,

did you try the Live CD and see if it connects when in live mode?.

From your lsmod results I see that your card is using the driver 8139too. However, there is another driver loaded, namely 8139cp.
So these two drivers conflict and fight with each other creating a problem to your connection. We will get the second driver (8139cp) out of the way and hopefully your connection will be established.

Open terminal and run the following 3 commands, one by one:

Code:

sudo su
echo "blacklist 8139cp" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
exit

Now reboot. Is your connection ok?
If yes, great. If not, open terminal and now run the following 4 commands, one by one:

Code:

sudo rmmod -f 8139cp
sudo mii-tool eth0 -F 100baseT-FD
sudo rmmod -f 8139too
sudo modprobe 8139too

If when you run the last command, you see that your card is working and you have internet, in order to make it permanent, you must add the above 4 commands inside your rc.local file.

Open terminal and run:

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/rc.local

and add (copy/paste) the following 4 commands ABOVE the last line that says "exit0".

Code:

sudo rmmod -f 8139cp
sudo mii-tool eth0 -F 100baseT-FD
sudo rmmod -f 8139too
sudo modprobe 8139too

Save, exit, reboot, and see if all is ok with your connection.

The last set of command have turn one light on on the card but still will not connect to router.
If I try yo ping router i get destination host unreachable.

Try reseting the settings of the router because I do not know if you have altered any setting.

Reset router no change

Try the commands like that:

sudo rmmod -f 8139cp
sudo mii-tool eth0 -F 10baseT-FD
sudo rmmod -f 8139too
sudo modprobe 8139too



If the above does not help, reboot and try to run only the 3 commands

sudo rmmod -f 8139cp
sudo rmmod -f 8139too
sudo modprobe 8139too

sudo rmmod -f 8139too

I ran the commands and reboot computer and router no change one light on ethernet card . If ping router i get Destination Host Unreachable.

The only thing I can think of, is to try to use the 2nd driver and blacklist the 1st one.

Run the command:

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

In the file that will open find the line that says:

blacklist 8139cp

and replace it with:

blacklist 8139too

Save, exit and Reboot.

See if you can get connection. If not, run the commands:

Code:

sudo rmmod -f 8139too
sudo mii-tool eth0 -F 100baseT-FD
sudo rmmod -f 8139cp
sudo modprobe 8139cp

Wait for 5-6 seconds and see if you getter any better results.

8139cp not found
so i reset to 8139too
just power light no connecting light

I run more test and here they are I hope this will help to find a fix

This (id 10ec:8139 rev 10) is not an 8139C+ compatible chip, use 8139too

As you see it states clearly what I was expecting, i.e. that 8139cp should be blacklisted and that you should only use 8139too.

Let's take it from the beginning.

Open terminal and run:

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Add the line:

Code:

blacklist 8139cp

(delete the line that says "blacklist 8139too" if you have not already done so).

Reboot.

Once you are back, open terminal and run

Code:

sudo modprobe -r 8139cp
sudo modprobe -r 8139too
sudo modprobe 8139too

See if that works and also let me have again the results of:

Code:

lsmod
